Welcome to

Ting Yuen's Artist Diary

Artist Statement

I create lyrical worlds, where tribulations are perceived with inspiring humor, fetishes embraced with open arms, thoughts are symbolic, dreams are always infinite, and an ideal world is possible. In many ways, my paintings compose a diary of my everyday life and aspirations, expressing fears and joys that are personal but, at the same time, universal to the current consciousness.

I am a huge fan of Romance and Love, matter of fact I have devoted an entire series to Romance. I have many paintings about this amazing subject. I have at least fifteen works devoted to my husband and best friend. My Romance Series is available as small prints and art cards, all of the Romance series originals are sold except for my newest Romance painting The Moonlit Chat III above. If you wish to see more of my Romance Series please check out my website www.artrushgallery.com.The stories for the above works are below:

The Moonlit Chat III

Moonlit Chat is about the importance of communication in a relationship. My husband Paul and I spend a lot of time together in both work and play and we are always chatting up a storm. We dream up new adventures and reminisce the past. The secret to good communication is trust, respect and putting our differences aside. Through our long conversations, Paul and I have learned to work through our differences and to use the challenges in our lives to strengthen our relationship. I love chatting with my best friend because it helps us to re-connect over and over again.The Moonlit Serenade

This painting is created for the romantic at heart because I am one too. Moonlit Serenade is about the importance of romance. My husband and I have been together for twenty years, we have had our challenges and have worked through them and became stronger as a couple. One of the things that nurtures the strength of our relationship is doing special things for each other on a daily basis, this reminds us how much we appreciate each other and makes us come together as a loving couple.Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Remember your loved ones and treat them to something thoughtful and special.

About Me

My name is Ting, I was born in Malaysia and have lived in five different countries. I am a self taught artist. I own a gallery in Nelson, B.C. with my husband Paul. We love where we live because it's very close to nature and it provides us ample of inspiration to work with and not to mention the tranquility that it provides. I started selling my art work in 1999 and since 2007 I have established myself as a full time artist and am loving it! My work is about life and dreams, very much a diary of my personal life depicted in colours and symbols. I hope to inspire people with my artwork and the stories that accompany them.
